I am having problems printing to a printer or a PDF from a richtextbox. It successfully prints all characters, but does not keep it formatted correctly (specifically losing tables).
Example of source:
Example of printed output:
I believe it is due to ".Text" only sending the text (characters) to be printed and not the complete format but I do not know another way to refer to the contents of the richtextbox. ".Rtf" does not seem to help with the formatting either.
The key line of code where I think it is going wrong:
e.Graphics.DrawString(richTextBox1.Text, new Font("Times New Romans", 14, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, new PointF(100, 100));
Whole code in case something else has been done wrong, the loading seems to work perfectly fine as it looks completely correct when displayed.
